As winter continues to melt outside my window, I need something to pick me up a little. Something big and sunny. Something with girls singing every now and then, Wall Of Sound epicness, maybe some strings or horns, harmonies, handclaps and a touch of heartache to make the sweet all that much sweeter. Something to melt the snow and shine some light into that cold gray heart of yours.

It all started with Jens Lekman's "Shirin", a pretty, sort of sad song about getting a haircut and sort of took off from there. It's pretty poppy, twee-ish stuff. Ben will probably not love it as much as It's All Fuss, but, well, I like it. It suits the season.

Dylan, I just put it on and Harper is dancing around to "Tonight I Have To Leave It". Now, my two year old has good taste in music (and I'm not being sarcastic) so that's a good start. We'll listen throughout the evening and I'll get back to you.

I'm wondering why you think I won't like it so much.. Is it because I don't like the B-52's? Are we still friends? Are we still family? Does it depend if I like the mix?
